在加沙奔走

YouTube 的口號是 Broadcast Yourself ，但渣估較常看到的，是用家們Broadcast others。

撇除版權不談，不少伴隨自己成長的歌曲，渣估都是近年才在 YouTube 重溫的。

先來此地無銀式的宣告，譚詠麟那些1994 年之前的經典金曲，與及黃子華的很多楝篤笑片段，其實我都曾以真金白銀買過正版錄音帶和門票的。

這幾年YouTube 及網上「分享文化」的普及，已經改變了我的「價值觀」(好像頗嚴重)。現在上YouTube 看有版權的短片時，內心掙扎已趨近於零，應該也算習非成是。

自從網友教了我如何嵌入YouTube短片在自己網誌之後，自己更常不問自取，當短片是味精一樣，給文章加分。不知道算不算「網上盜竊」，也無意考究是否正在侵害版權擁有人的權利。

我知道有些博客是從來不把有版權的片段加到網誌裡的，在他們面前，自己就像那些在地鐵月台不好好地排在黃線內的乘客。

但自從發覺幾位心儀已久的博客都將YouTube 片段放在網誌的時候，竟有點找到共犯般的興奮，一齊墮落。那些片段多數是一些歌曲，或是電影的一些零星片段。不過始終還有點界線守著，例如我從不下載電影和音樂，雖然性質跟嵌入YouTube 短片好像差不多。

我原本以為這個亂象只屬暫時性，相關影音企業將會掌握科技，法例亦會追上互聯網的發展，訂出監管，又或博客界(假如博客也有這樣的「界」)終有人登高一呼，叫博客們自律，令到這種「分享文化」稍為收歛，甚或絕跡。

但終歸冷眼旁觀兩三年，「共產」情況愈來愈普遍。我想，實際上，版權擁有人幾乎已經對整個浪潮作出了妥協，甚至亦有公司利用YouTube作有限度宣傳，就像洗頭水公司在街頭派Sample 之類。

講咁多野，都係廢話，我淨係想播以下呢首Suburbia (Pet Shop Boys)，主要係尾段既轟炸聲，令細佬想起一連三天給以色列空襲的加沙，神識跳左入首歌末段散發出既戰火境界! 如果我是加沙的一條狗，望見漫天的炸彈轟炸，也許會嚇得在戰地裡瘋癲地奔走，腦內或會響起這首隔世 (廿年前) 聽過愛過的歌，與前後左右狗群爭相走避著大禍臨頭，或者更會想起「呢d先叫真大鑊」!

(Suburbia，where the suburbs met Utopia)
(Where the suburbs met Utopia)
Lost in the high street，where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother's got a hairdo to be done
She says they're too old for toys
Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
In this suburban hell
And in the distance a police car
To break the suburban spell
Let's take a ride，and run
with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide，run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
Break a window by the town hall
Listen，the siren screams
There in the distance，like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams
Let's take a ride，and run
with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide，run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
I only wanted something else
to do but hang around
I only wanted something else
to do but hang around
(Hang around，hang around)
It's on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where's a policeman when you need one
To blame the colour TV?
Let's take a ride，and run
with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide，run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
In Suburbia
In Suburbia
Run with the dogs tonight
You can't hide
Run with the dogs tonight
(You can't hide，you can't hide)
In Suburbia
(Suburbia，where the suburbs met Utopia)
(What kind of doomed modernism
is so easy to destroy?)
(A world together，the cities of the past)
(Music，songs of the future)
(Suburbia，where the suburbs met Utopia)
(Suburbia，where the suburbs met Utopia)
(Where the suburbs met Utopia)
